Almost relevant - we don't have gas, we have oil. I was looking at a seller of firewood locally. On their website it compares the heat output of their firewood to oil.
I now know that, at today's price, to replace £200 worth of oil with kiln dried oak logs, it will cost me...£200.
Well hurrah. Logs are nicer, but more faff. Undecided.
In either case, neither oil nor logs attract a daily standing charge of course, and I can buy both at summer prices, so that's a plus. Probably.
Electricity - we sit at about 5000 units a year, perhaps a smidge less. Current tariff, until end of next April, is 18.5p a unit, 24.5p a day standing. Gonna be "interesting" next May, but sufficient unto the day, etc.
